Chapter 40: Good News

. . . .

"Hinata! I'm so sorry! I promise I will never leave you again...Hinata I love you."

. . . .

And with that the poor Hyuuga was out like a light. Everyone in the room sweatdropped and Naruto let out a loud sigh. "Four years Hinata...Four years...You went four years without fainting..."

Cole was taken aback. He never thought his son would have the backbone to actually confess to her like that this early.

Yeah he knew. Naruto was just as enamored with the girl as sh was with him. They were just both so shy and dense that neither of them caught on to the others feelings. Cole let out a similar sigh and then gave a slight glare to all the on lookers. Once he caught their attention he nodded his head to the door and they all quickly nodded and left. Cole followed after the group but not before smiling at his son. "Good job champ." He said causing Naruto to look up and explode into a massive blush.

He looked around and took in his location gaining a even bigger blush until one could almost see steam coming from his head. Cole chuckled at the boys embarrassment and walked out.

After a few minutes Hinata stirred and woke up. Still in Naruto's arms.

Once she righted her dizziness. She looked around and her eyes landed on Naruto. She then remembered why she fainted.

...

She squealed and rapped her arms around the boys neck and hugged him tight. After a few seconds He tried to choke something out, they may have been words, but...who knows. He was tapping on Hinata's shoulder. She soon caught the hint and let her grip on him loosen, not letting go completely.

He took a few deep breaths and looked into the girls eyes. "S-So...D-does that m-mean..." The poor boy stammered. Hinata smiled at him and rest her head on his shoulder. "You don't know how long I've waited to hear those words, Naru-kun." She said softly.

Naruto smiled. He closed his eyes and hugged her back, fighting back tears of joy. "And you don't know how long I've been trying to say them." He whispered back.

They stayed that way for a few minutes before Hinata leaned back a bit. Her happy smile quickly turned into a frown. "But if you EVER get hurt like that again I won't forgive you." She huffed and puffed out her cheeks in mock anger.

"I can't make any promises Hime. You know what I'm like. Trouble just seems to find me where ever I go." He responded. She pouted at him and puffed out her cheeks again. "Promise!" She said to him, not taking no as an answer. Naruto shook his head lightly, smiling at her drive to make him make a promise he couldn't keep. "Ok, ok. Hime, I promise I will try to never get hurt like that again." She continued to puff out her cheeks in an angry pout. Naruto smirked. "You know. Have I ever told you how cute that face you're making is?"

Hinata's expression quickly turned into an embarrassed blush and she looked down. He just laughed and pulled her into another hug. His happiness quickly turned into a frown when a thought hit him. He'd have to tell her now. He thought for a moment and shrugged. "I guess it's all or nothing..."

"Hey, Hime...can you meet me at the usual place in about an hour...there's something else I need to tell you." He said in a calm voice, talking slowly. She instantly felt the change in mood and backed away from the hug. She looked up and saw the worried look in his eyes. She just smiled and nodded. "I'll go see my family before...I guess I'll see you again in an hour...Naru-kun." She turned to leave but leaped into another hug. "I love you too, Naruto." She let go and hurried out the door.

. . . .

Naruto was waiting on the Hokage monument on top of the fourths head. This was his and Hinata's normal hangout. His leg was shaking in nervousness as he waited. Another five minutes of nervous tension went by before Hinata showed up.

She walked up onto the monument and sat down next to Naruto, a little closer than she normally would. "So what did you want to talk about Naru-kun?" she asked as she placed a hand on top of his causing him to blush slightly.

He took a deep breath and started to tell her the truth. Everything. From Kurama to him being adopted. He even went far enough to tell her his true heritage.

She actually took it quite well. She didn't once stop him, only nodding along. The only real reaction she had was to who his real parents were and that ended up being a wide eyed eyebrow raise.

After finishing up with his background he hesitantly told her what happened on the bridge. This, this was where she went off at him.

She tugged on his shoulder causing him to look right at her.

*SMACK*

...

She smacked him, tears coming to her eyes. "How could you!? How could you do that to yourself!? Naruto, you know that I would never want you to be like that! Does your own life mean nothing to you!?" At this point tears rolled freely down her face. "Naruto I love you. But I never...EVER...want you to hurt yourself because of what happens to me! I love you too much to know you're suffering like that!"

"And I love you too much to know you're hurt or dying to not react like that!" He shot back, tears welling up in his eyes. "Hinata, when you...you died in my arms...I was lost. It was like a part of me had broken and turned to dust. The only thing that filled my thoughts were pain and loss...Hinata...I care for you more than anyone. You're my only friend, the one I love the most. I never want to see you hurt. It's...too much for me..."

They stopped talking for what seemed like hours. After the moment they just had, tears stained their faces. "I...I promise...Naru-kun. I will get stronger...I will get stronger so you will never have to see me like that again." Hinata said, breaking the silence. She looked into his eyes and embraced him in another hug. She buried her head in his chest and leaned into him.

Naruto rapped his arms around her and held her. "I promise Hime. That I will be the strongest shinobi there is. I will never let anyone hurt you. I promise to never hurt you. I promise. I promise I will never leave you alone. I promise, till death do us part."

. . . .

They stayed like that until the sun started to set. Hinata fell asleep in his arms so he carried her home and handed her off to her father and mother. Hannah gave him a knowing smile while her husband gave he a slight glare. Naruto bowed to them and left. The unspoken words were all given through their eyes and actions.

Once he got home he walked into the house. "I'm home," he called. When no answer came he walked into the living room where he saw his father passed out on the couch. He looked like he was foaming out of the mouth and had his eyes rolled all the way back. "WHAT THE FUCK! DAD ARE YOU OK!?" He said as he rushed to his adoptive father.

While he checked his vitals Anko walked into the room. "Oh, hey Naru-kun." She said to her adoptive son. The boy whipped his head to his mother. "What's wrong with him!?" He asked.

Anko adverted her eyes and started poking her fingers together. "W-well...uh..I sort of told him...that...uhh...I'm...sort of...kind of...pregnant..."

...

"WHAT!" Naruto roared. "I"M GONNA BE AN OLDER BROTHER!"

. . . .
